Handheld LED Arrays

Check out Elixa’s Facebook page for the occasional, usually enlightening post about ways you can keep yourself optimally healthy, happy, and long-lived without pharmaceuticals and bad advice from uninformed medical professionals.

Elixa’s LED arrays put out more light per in2/cm2 than most other consumer grade systems. This means less treatment time (approx 5 minutes) and more light per dollar. They weigh very little and will stay in place with a suitable wrap or tape. Made in USA.

Superluminous LEDs (Light Emitting Diodes) are safe concentrated light sources used to produce the specific wavelengths of light that provide therapeutic benefits of light therapy without adverse side effects.

The diverse tissue and cell types in the body all have their own unique light absorption characteristics; that is, they will only absorb light at specific wavelengths and not at others. For example, skin layers, because of their high blood and water content, absorb red light very readily, while calcium and phosphorus absorb light of a different wavelength. Although both red and infrared wavelengths penetrate to different depths and affect tissues differently, the therapeutic effects are similar.

Visible red light, at wavelengths from 630 to 700 nm penetrates tissue to a depth of about 10 mm. Light at this wavelength is very beneficial in treating problems close to the surface such as wounds, cuts, scars, trigger and acupuncture points, and is particularly effective in treating infections. Infrared light (800 to 1000nm) penetrates to a depth of about 40mm and deeper which makes it more effective for treating organs and provide relief for ailments of bones, joints, deep muscle tissue.
